p.s. It's very difficult now to get
a laptop with an external serial port.
Very annoying.
Oh you wanted docs:
http://ldp.csn.ul.ie/HOWTO/Serial-HOWTO.html
You probably don't need anything though,
just connect a NULL modem cable, run
minicom and you should be laughing
(assuming of course the servers are
already accepting logins from the serial port).
